ParK City TO arrest Charley; as we
passed Mary's house, grabbed him
by the shoulder, and took him in to
have a look at the body; he did not
want to go in, but forced him to, and
he trembled violently, as he gazed upon
her; and told US all that Charley had
told him about it-how he had gone to
the door, called her out and stabbed
her; we pointed out the patches
of blood on the floor, and asked
| him whose blood it was; he said it was
Mary's and in response to the question
as to who had wiped it up came the re-
ply Charley" that the blood had been
wiped up with a scarf, to which he
called our attention. We asked him If
he saw Charley kill Mary, and he said !:
"Yes-nO, but Charley told me about
it."
